As usual there was alarge attendance. There were manygratifying reports of work done, andhelpful suggestions for the comingyear. The history of the twelvemonths past has been one of earnest purpose, hard work, and real success. Some points brought out by thosewho reported for the various branchesof work are worth remembering. MissMary Greene speaking of the Hawaiian Bible Reader's work told of anincrease of i cleanliness in the homesvisited, but especially pleasing wereher remarks concerning the effect ofthe work upon the Hawaiian womenwho accompany her in her daily visits.They have learned, she says, lessonswhich make them really executive inthe work, and better than all expressthe thought that in service is the onlytrue life.Mrs. Damon made a strong appealfor a woman helper in the ChineseMission Work. That work goes onvery successfully but those most interested know that there is an unmeasured field of usefulness for somewoman who wilJ devote her life tothe Chinese. women in this city.An interesting item of Mrs. Gulick'sreport told of the increased attendance of women at the religious meetings held for the Japanese here in Honolulu; on the other hand it is ratherstartling to hear that during the pastyear the number of Buddhist priestsin the eity has greatly increased. Theywill constitute an unexpected and newobstacle to Avork f qt Japanese here.The Portuguese work is progressingfinely. Miss Fernandez said that oitenwhen she goes into The homes of herpeople she is met with the question,"Have you brought the little Book?"So eager are evtn Those who do notprofess "Protestantism for the Wordwhich has been denied them. Daringthfc morning the Society voted to sendto the Legislature a memorial againstlegislation favorable to opium traffic.The treasurer's repcxt showed that$1.1.04.07. had been collected dining theyear for the regular work, of which$281.64 is carri-ed over to the new year.In addition to this, about $600 has bsensent to the Armenian sufferers.The recess and lunch were delightin 1 features of the meeting; while theafternoon session was especially agreeable. A chorus of girls from Kamehameha, with Miss Clymer as leader,rendered a delightful number. Nonewho heard it can forget Miss Hyde'ssweet solo -The King of Love MyShepherd is." The inspiration of the-meeting came largely from the addressof the President Mrs. Hyde.

Here it opens before us amongthe thousands from China and Japan.Is it Home Missions in which we arespecially interested? Here we are surrounded by those who know of Christand His Salvation, but who care fornone of these things. Is it philanthropic and educational work that enlistsour sympathies? Look at the poor andisrnorant on every hand. It lias beenwell said that 'Every gift oi Providence to us. is an opportunity andtherefore a responsibility; and the.blessing does not come with the giftuntil we recognize the responsibilityand use the opportunity. If we wantthe character that comes from unselfish living.' we must live unselfishly.'We cmnot have results without pro-cesses. If we want spiritual loveliness we must possess the lovelyspirit.'

Schaeferand Mrs. Widdifield.Particular attention was paid to thework of decorating the hall and stageand the trouble spent on this was byno means lost, for admiring eyes weremany.In regard to the .work exhibitedmuch might be said. D. Howard Hitchcock had a number of pieces, recentlyfinished. His "Outposts," a marineview and his "Kilatiea in 1S93," attracted much attention. Mrs. Kelly'sfloral pieces were likewise very favorably commented upon. Among othersuccessful contributors were the following: Mrs. Belle Jones, Mrs. A. H.Graham, Mrs. Alfred Willis, Mrs. Herbert Garstin, Mrs. A. B. Tucker, Mrs.H. M. von Holt, Mrs. S. Dacota, C.W. Dickey, Philip Dodge and G.

R. DWAlhridee and Fred Hayselden areat the head of the enterprise. Theyhave the assurance of ample financialbacking. Surveys have been made. Soilhave been tested. The landing has beenselected. The prospectus is in courseof preparation. It is hoped to havethe all-important problem of water forirrigation settled within thirty daysA well boring outfit goes forward todav. The contract has been awardedto the Chinese company in the business. An extra drill was made at theHonolulu Iron Works yesterday. Therigging, men, etc., will be shipped bythe Wilder steamer Maui at 4 o'clockthis afternoon. A trial will be madefor a ten-inch well. It is claimed thatthe surface indications are all thatcould be desired and a number of kamaainas are confident that water willbe found. There are many considerable areas of fertile soil on Lanai, butthe Island has for many years beengiven up almost entirely to stockLanai has long been a producer ofwool and mutton. The gentlemen whoare now taking active steps in thefurtherance of the project for a plantation for Lanai have long had theplan in mind. They have proceededcautiously and are yet very loath tospeak of their campaign in detail. Itis certain, however, that if water isfound a very large sugar estate willbe established.Advertising is not an expense. Itis a business investment.
